I'm a product of the 80's with an unnatural fixation for pop culture, young adult fiction, trash tv, coffee and chocolate. Aerosmith has been my favorite band since before I could walk, although I have an extremely eclectic taste in music and movies. I love traveling and welcome the opportunity to shoot destination weddings. I'm a giddy mess when autumn  approaches and the trees begin to turn, love craft fairs, and bake like crazy during the holidays. Although I'm not a fan of the summer heat, I do enjoy the beach and pool... particularly the clear, turquoise water in the Caribbean (where Brian proposed!)

In 2010, after 12 years spent studying photography, Christina Marie Photography was establised. I've been shooting since I was 4 ("portrait sessions" with my stuffed animals and dolls), with a Polaroid and 110mm, and graduated to a 35mm SLR in high school when I began seriously studying the art form. I've studied at the collegiate level, and have continued studying, since 2000.

Brian (my fiance and best friend since high school) and I shoot most weddings together with Nikons. We value our time together with our 1 year old dog, a Catahoula Leopard Dog named Hurricane whom we rescued, fostered and eventually adopted. We value our family time and enjoy working together to capture the emotions portrayed by our clients.​
